Terminology3.1 The definitions in Terminology C
17、168 shall apply to theterms used in this specification.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 moldedrefers to products preformed via a moldingprocess to yield full-round cylindrical pipe insulation sections.3.2.2 precision v-grooverefers to products fabricated frommachined board vi
18、a a precision cutting process. Machinedsegments are adhered to a backing to form a full-roundcylindrical pipe insulation section. Due to the precision of theprocess, the product has no gaps when installed.4. Classification4.1 Products covered by this specification are classifiedaccording to maximum

21、s requiredNOTE 1Warning: Grade B may not be suitable for applicationsrequiring hot installation capability at the maximum temperature indi-cated. Products having a Grade B designation are designed to be used witha heat-up schedule. Failure to use a heat-up schedule with Grade Bproducts may lead to a
22、n exothermic reaction. This is dependent onthickness and temperature. Consult the manufacturer or manufacturersliterature for special heat rate considerations.4.2 Binder decomposition at elevated temperature may be alimiting factor in certain applications. Consult the manufac-turer regarding special
23、 heat rate considerations.5. Materials and Manufacturer5.1 Composition The mineral fiber insulation for pipesshall be manufactured from mineral substance such as rock,slag, or glass, processed from a molten state into fibrous formwith binder. Asbestos shall not be used as an ingredient orcomponent p
24、art. Some products may also contain adhesive.5.2 Jackets (Facings)The user of this specification has theoption to specify that the insulation be jacketed.NOTE 2The user is advised that the maximum use temperature offactory-applied facings and adhesives may be lower than the maximumuse temperature of
25、 the insulation. The specifier shall ensure that sufficientinsulation thickness is installed so none of these accessory items (facingsand adhesives) are exposed to temperatures above their maximum usetemperature. The products covered by this standard are predominantlyinorganic in nature. Organic fac
26、ings, adhesives and binders are also usedin the construction of these products. The resulting composite thereforecould have increased combustibility.6. Physical Requirements6.1 The product shall conform to the following require-ments in addition to those specified in Table 1.6.2 Hot Surface Performa
27、nce:6.2.1 The product shall not crack, warp, flame, or glowduring hot surface exposure. No evidence of melting or fiberdegradation shall be evident upon post test inspection.6.2.2 The insulations internal temperature rise (exotherm)shall not exceed the pipe temperature by more than 200F(111C).6.3 No
28、n-fibrous (Shot) Content:6.3.1 The non-fibrous content of a rock- or slag-basedproduct shall not exceed 25 % by weight.6.4 For Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accep-tance, materials must also comply with Supplemental Require-ments. See Annex A1 of this standard.7. Standard Shapes, Sizes, and Dime
29、nsions7.1 The basic shape of mineral fiber pipe insulation forms aright annular cylinder, which is radially slit on at least one sideof the cylinder axis. It is furnished in sections or segmentsdesigned to fit standard sizes of pipe and tubing.7.2 Typical available thicknesses range from nominal12-i
30、n.(13 mm) to nominal 6-in. (152 mm), single or double layer, in12-in. increments for most pipe and tubing sizes.7.3 Individual dimensions for inner diameter and wallthickness shall conform to Practice C585.7.4 Standard section or segment length shall be 3 ft (0.91m)or as agreed upon between the buye
31、r and seller.8. Dimensional Tolerances8.1 Length equals 618-in. (3 mm).8.2 When installed on a nominal pipe or tubing size asdefined in Practice C585, the insulation shall fit snugly andhave tight longitudinal and circumferential joints.8.3 The inner and outer bore of the insulation shall beconcentr
32、ic to the outer surface. The deviation from concentric-ity shall not exceed316 in. (5 mm).9. Workmanship9.1 The insulation shall not have defects that will adverselyaffect installation or service quality.10. Sampling10.1 When specified in the purchase order or contract,sampling and acceptance shall

Test Methods11.1 The properties i
34、n this specification shall be determinedin accordance with the following test methods, with jacketingexcluded unless stated otherwise.11.1.1 Density and DimensionsTest Method C302.11.1.2 Linear Shrinkage Test Method C356.11.1.3 Thermal ConductivityTest Method C335.11.1.3.1 Thermal performance shall
35、be characterized on a3-in. NPS 3 2-in. pipe insulation size. Thermal performancemust be assessed on actual pipe insulation sections. Dataobtained on flat samples, using Test Method C177, shall not beused to state compliance with this specification.11.1.3.2 Practice C1058 may be used to obtain recom-
36、mended test temperature combinations for testing purposes.11.1.3.3 As specified in C1045, the range of test conditionsmust include at least one test where the hot surface temperatureis greater than, or equal to, the hot limit of the temperaturerange of desired data and at least one test where the co
37、ldsurface temperature is less than, or equal to, the cold limit ofthe temperature range desired. At least two additional testsshall be distributed somewhat evenly over the rest of thetemperature range.11.1.3.4 Final analysis of the thermal data shall be con-ducted in accordance with C1045 to generat
38、e a thermalconductivity versus temperature relationship for the specimen.11.1.3.5 The final step of C1045 analysis is to calculate thethermal conductivity using the equations generated at a set ofmean temperatures for comparison to thespecification.WarningWhile it is recommended that thespecificatio
39、n data be presented as thermal conductivity versustemperature, several existing specifications may contain meantemperature data from tests conducted at specific hot and coldsurface temperatures. In these cases, the conductivity as afunction of temperature from the C1045 analysis may providedifferent
40、 results. To insure that the data is compatible, a C680analysis, using the thermal conductivity versus temperaturerelationship from C1045 and the specific hot and cold surfacetemperatures, is required to determine the effective thermalconductivity for comparison to the specification requirements.11.
